Accelerated 3-Year MD Graduates Match or Exceed Traditional Peers in Residency Performance: Evidence from ACGME Milestone 2.0

A comprehensive retrospective cohort study finds **Implementing Study Findings** I'm now integrating the Brenner et al. (2026) data into the "Key Findings" section. I'm focusing on providing a clear presentation of the ACGME Milestone 2.0 scores, specifically highlighting differences in PC, MK, and PROF domains. The strategy also includes detailing implications. I'm also ensuring the final JSON structure matches the required specifications. that graduates of accelerated 3-year MD programs perform at least as well as, and in some domains better than, their 4-year counterparts during Internal Medicine residency, validating the clinical competency of shortened medical education pathways.
